Protect against propeller strikes.
Make sure all passengers are accounted for before starting the engine, and wear your emergency cut-off switch at all times. When people are in the water, ask one person to propeller-watch. Consider additional propeller-safety devices, such as guards or sensors.

Carry safety equipment on board.
On top of life jackets for all, stock a complete first-aid kit, a tool kit, a horn or whistle, flares, a fire extinguisher, a marine VHF radio, an extra dock line or two and a throwable flotation device, at minimum.

Make a float plan.
A float plan is a document you leave with someone on shore describing your boat, equipment, itinerary and passengers. In an emergency, a float plan can help guide search and rescue teams. The USCG Auxiliary website offers
a downloadable float plan
.

Prevent carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.
This odorless, colorless gas can cause harm — even death — both inside and outside your boat. Install and maintain CO alarms, and stay far from exhaust fumes. If in an enclosed cabin, go topside and/or circulate fresh air. The symptoms of seasickness and CO poisoning are similar, but if you suspect CO, seek fresh air and medical attention.

Get a free vessel safety check.
The USCG will come to you, at your convenience, to conduct their complementary (and consequence-free) assessment.
